Hey Phildog, Can you make a headstock decal?

Phildog · 06-25-2011, 09:28 PM

The great thing about Photoshop is that you can make ANYTHING you want. I made a custom logo for my Rogue bass. To me, just the name on the headstock seemed a little ... boring. So I made a waterslide decal of a Scorpion in Electric Blue to give her some flavor.

What kind of decal are you looking for?

What printer are you using?

There is only one printer that I'm aware of that can print metallic ink . That's an Alps printer.
Maybe this is not the case anymore...can anyone confirm this?

I don't use metallic ink. I use the regular ole inkjet cartridges. They print very clear and sharp, making some nice looking decals.

That's awesome. What do you print onto to make them? I'd love to give this a shot with my Lexmark, just to see how it goes....

Waterslide decal paper. You have to get either INKJET or LAZER... depending upon what kind of printer you have.
